Why have I always had sagging jowls? I am 23! How do I get rid of them? (photos)

PugWearingHeadphones
My entire life I have dealt with sagging jowls. As a child and teenager, I was very skinny, and now (aged 23) I can be considered average in weight, so I know that my weight can't be the source. It may be important to add that as a child and up till the present day I barely drank any fluids throughout the day, especially water. I heard that lack of fluids over long periods of time can maybe cause the sagging jowls. Also, none of my parents and siblings seem to have this problem
